EE> LOL... mine was EXHR08E
Everybody always remembers jamming that into the computer...
EE> Grin, I called a dial-up BBS for the first time a few months after I
EE> started using Prodigy. It was a one-line WWIV board (using a version
For some reason, I kept running into people running theBBS. There was
some lady running one out of Ohio that I got Doom shareware from. Didn't
realize they were on the disks for awhile too.
EE> of WWIV that was outdated even then, no less) called The Palace.
EE> Actually, it was the original (And only) support bbs for PimpWars,

Our local scene wasn't that interesting. All of them were single node
systems, and Renegade was the BBS everbody ran. The first BBS I found was a
Wildcat! system, but I didn't stay there long. I don't know if the SysOp was
even involved in that system much.
EE> At first, I didn't get the BBS thing at all and hated it. Then I got

EE> Hmm, hard to remember. My favorites were on the Comedy boards. There
EE> were these goofy semi-role-playing type clubs on there that were a lot
EE> of fun when I was 12...:)

everybody. I remember when they had little idiot spammers get on there and
pick on everybody, even with the censors watching...
... deals kill politicians, and politicians kill ideals.
